CROSSFIT LONDON : the house plant sanctuary

We do many things at Crossfit London in Bethnal Green E2. We make fantastic humans, and basically, bring the awesomeness out of awesome people. We do this through our authentic Crossfit , Olympic weightlifting and Power Lifting classes. Our diabolical Metcon sessions (imagine a circuit class from hell) and our fabulous range of adult gymnastic classes round off the edges.

We also do this by offering a sanctuary and safe place for unwanted and abandoned houseplants. People in London can move frequently and it’s often the humble pot plant that can be on the receiving end.

We have made space in our fantastic cafe and reception space to take in and look after unwanted pot and house plants.

We know things get tough, but please don’t take it out on your cactus, cheese plant, or whatever that green clump of stuff is called! If you find yourself at the end of your tether, bring in your plant for us to love and nurture. We wont judge you.

If you’re feeling under pressure, and you cannot give your plant the love it needs, bring it to us. We will water it, talk to it, love it and add delicate spoonfuls of peat, potting compost or other plant yummy stuff. You can come and visit your plant whenever you like.

At the other end of the spectrum, if you have always wanted a plant but were terrified by the responsibility, but still want that “human to nature” connection, do come to our Plant Cafe and sit near one of our therapy plants. They will lower your blood pressure when you stroke their little leaves and tickle their fronds. If you talk to them, they wont betray or judge you.
